nectlcut Veteran.
The Waterbury American furnishes the
following account of curious cane
owned by 8. p. Richards, of Hotchkiss-
vile, a veteran OF Company A, Eighth
Connecticut Volunteers: 1t is made of
wood from black walnut tree which
stood south OF the cemetery at Gettys-
burg, and the trunk of which was pierced
by 267 bullets during the tattle of July /,
2 and 8. 1853. The tree was known as the
hospital tree, 233 arms and legs having
been amputated under its shade, The
caneis carved to represent an ivy branch
twining from end to end, and in the
spaces between the leaves are inserted
a number Of pieces of wood and stone.
The first is piece Of chestnut taken from
the tree under which General Reno fell at
South Mountain: another is piece
OF the box seat in Ford's Theater in which
President Lincoln sat when shot, o piece
OF the gun.boat sunk at Perry's victory
on Lake Champaign, piece of wood from
the bunker Church at Antietam. A piece
OF gun-stock carried through the French
and Indian wars, the revolution and the
war Of 1919 is also inserted. The house
John Brown was born in, the Flagstaff
taken down by Colonel Ellsworth at
Alexandria, Va, at the sacrifice Of his
life, the willow tree which grew on the
grave OF Napoleon at st. Helena, the tree
growing over the tomb Of Washington at
Mount Vernon, the tomb Of Lincoln at
Springfield, ILL.,, Of Grant at River side
Park, the dead-ine at Andersonville and
Libby prison at Richmond are also rep.
resented by pieces Of marble and wood
mortised into the cane.

Planting Evergreens.

Josiah Hopes is quoted as saying
that August is a better time to remove
evergreens than spring. There never
was truer saying than that "a little
knowledge is dangerous thing" and
unless your readers take this cum
grasao sails it is likely to prove SO in
this case, because so much depends
upon circumstances. The season
usually recommended has been late
spring, after the growth has COM
menced. With sandy soil and COM
paratively warm climate. we could
hardly select worse time. Probably
in a cool, moist climate just before
growth commenced, when the buds
were swelling, would be better than
very early. once transplanted some
hemlocks in August during damp
weather, when the ground was quite
moist and a week of wet weather fol-
lowed. and I never had any
better success at any season.
If such circumstances could
always be secured would recommend
August without hesitation. When,
however, they have to be obtained far
enough away to require packing and
shipping, the- are liable to be injured
at that hot season, and If hot, dry
weather follows for week or more,
unless watered and carefully taken
care OF, they are pretty sure to die. I
have come to the conclu sion that, as a
general rule. very early spring is the
safest time. although a man with good
common sense and his eyes open. need
not always be governed by general
rules.
The important points in removing
evergreens are never to allow the least
drying of the roots, sprinkle and cover
as soon as dug. Then, in planting,
work the earth well among the roots
and pack it quite firm about them.
and shear off portion of the growth,
keeping the surface loose through the
first summer f. BasseM, IN

FIGHTING THE BANK.
10 Of tho Rothschilds Brought tho
Bank of England to Time.


g~. Bank of England to Time.
10 story runs, says the author Of
'The Rothschilds," that the Bank
mortally offended Nathan Mayer, by
refusing to discount q bill drawn
up on him for large am cunt by
his brother Anselm, Of Frankfort. The
Bank had haughtily replied that they ''dis-
counted only their own bills, aud not
to deal with one even stronger than the
Bank. "Private personsl" exclaimed
Rothschild, when the facts were repor ted
to him; 'private personsi I will make
these gentlemen feel what sort of pri-
v,te persons we arew Three weeks after.
ward Nathan Mayer, who had employed
the interval in collecting all the bank
notes he could procure in England and
on tho continent, presented him..
self at the Bank as soon as It was
opened. He drew from his pocket
book five-pound note, and the
clerk naturally counted out five sover-
eigns, at the same time looking
with great establishment at Roths-
child. It seemed strange that he should
trouble himself for such trifs. He,
however, examined the coins carefully
one by one, and put them in little can
vas bag; then drawing out another note,
third, a fourth, a.tenth, q hundredth, he
kept demanding change for his notes,
nsver placing the money in his bag with
out first scrupulously examining the
pieces In some cases he would try them
in the balance, "as" he observed, 'the
law gave him the right to do" The first
pocket-book being emptied aud the first
bag filed, he passed them to his clerk
and received second supply Of notes,
thus continuing to drain the bank of its
gold till the doors were closed. He had
spent seven hours in changing g31 900
But as he had nine of his employees en-
gagged in the same manner it resulted
that the bank had lost G210, 600 from its re
serve OF gold. Moreover, Nathan May
err had kept the tellers so occupied that
no other persons could change single
note. Every thing that bears the stamp of
eccentricity always pleases the English
public, and in this instance the pique of
the great millionaire caused endless
amusement. The directors, however,
laughed less Wien they saw him reappear
next day at the opening of the bank, &C
companied by his nine allies; they laughed
no longer when they heard the financial
despot say, with ironical simplicity:
"These gentlemen refuse to take my bills;
have sworn not to keep theirs, will
merely warn them that hold notes
enough to keep them occupied for two
months" For two months! Eleven mil
lions Of gold drawn from the bankl The
bank grew alarmed; something had to be
done. The next morning notice appeared
that In the future Rothschild's bills would
taken as readily as their own.

: Breeding Mules.

In response to an inquiry az to
whether better mule colts are pro-
duced from thoroughbred or well-bred
mares and jack. than from cold
blooded mare;" also as to "best sized
mares to breed from to produce fine
sized farm mules-and at what age it
is best to begin breeding mares and
jacks?' the Southern Calltivator says:
PROFESSIONALLY it is better to breed
fSo.a well-hred mares. Some persons
think that any kind OF a mare
will do for breeding mules,
provided only that she be of
good size and well-formed. 1t would
be just as reasonable to expect fine
action, style, etc, in a horse colt from
a'sluggish, coarse. low-bred dam, as
to expect quick, active, fine limbed
mule from such a source. While it is
of prime Importance that the sire be
OF the best blood, it is scarcely less
important that the dam be of good
pedigree and good individual points.
To breed mules the mare should be of
full medium size, rather over than
under, and from four and half to five
years old. The jack should be per-
mitted to serve two or three mares
when he is two years old, but his best
service is when full three years old
and under four. He should be of the
very best blood and not less than fit.

Raising Mules and Horses.

Raising mules and horses for cotton
planters has been the best business the
writer could do in Tennessee during
the last twenty-five years. Farmers
who are poorly paid for producing
their great staple may find the produc-
ton OF horse-aesh a more pleasant and
profitable industry. Farmer" of
Abeville. S. c., sold two-vear-old
colt for 500, and has one half as old
that is worth, in his opinion, $3.50. By
Keeping five or six brood mares on his
farm, and making them do work
enough to pay for their keep, he might
have an income of five or six hundred
dollars year, and save the wages
and provisions of two laborers. Ihaye

horses. mules and dairy cows to the
greatest profit. one must be willing to
study grass and clover culture with

Be rmuda grass, corn and clover beat

Truck and Fruit Farming.

For a while we feared the Texas
drought was extending northeast
ward, as spring approached, and
brought us no vernal showers.
Crops have suffered much for want of
rain. Oats were cut short at least one
half. Though corn and cotton were
late in coming through so far as is
planted, they look we'll and present a
good stand. The early, warm spring
was in our favor Late April and early
May rains brought vegetation out
wonderfully and present prospects
for a good crop are encourag-
ing. At Crystal Springs Miss. }
trucking business continues to boom.
Over $4,000 have already been
distributed among vegetable-growers
here. Though the drought was great
draw back. cutting peas off considera-
bly,, and the strawberries somewhat
damaged, still they have done remark
ably well. Price for peas per bushel,
$3.50. Fancy price, 1915 in Chicago
market. Strawberries have paid from So
to S13 per crate (twenty-four quarts). A
year ago last April, a gentleman near
here put out $500 plants on one and a
q"arter acres, and they Melted him
this season, in Chicago market, 1886.
Tomato and bean patches are
in abundance; they next attract
the market. The fruit crop, peaches
especially, bids fair to be a
success. Trees are not overloaded,
but the fruit is fine Regu lar ship
ments are now being made. A new
item of interest in and around our
town is the shipment of flowers by the
ladies'. AS much as $40 have been
realized from single rose bush. Cape
Jasmine buds sell in Chicago for from
$3.50 to So per hundred. We live in
a land of wonderful facilities. Any
one can make living and more if he
is of the right makeup" We are
at last awakening to the fact that cit
is not the land but the man who falls"
